r To the left. Most Reverend Joseph A. Hickey, O.S.A., S.T.M., J.C.D., former Prior General of the Order of St. Augustine, lays the cornerstone for Sullivan Hall. Here, one of the hrst graduates of Merrimack College is seen kissing the ring of His Excel- lency Archbishop Cushing who presided over this first com- mencement in 1951. The Archbishop on September 29, 1952, came to Merrimack in order to dedicate our first three buildings. One of these, the sci- ence building, was named Cush- ing Hall in honor of His Excel- lency. Hall, which opened in the fall of 1949. Sullivan Hall, the liberal arts building, and the second link of the quadrangle, was completed by September of 1951.

Other new courses included secretarial science and nursing. Enrollment in part- time sessions, the evening school and the summer school now rivals the enrollment in the regular ses- sions. And Merrimack has achieved a modest but important series of successes in intellectual and athletic competition with other colleges.
